ZIMBABWE – A city man yesterday revealed to court that his former wife is negligent and careless with the money she receives for the upkeep if their three children.
This came to light at Harare civil court where, Itai Kokera dragged her former husband Tendai Musoni to court for upward variation of US$150 to US$250.
“She is not a responsible mother your Worship.
“Each time the children complain about school fees and food.
“During my leave in August to October I left for Chiredzi to a part time job so that my children could have something to eat but to my surprise their school fees were not even paid up to date,” he said.
“We worked together at the Ministry of Agriculture but she lost her job because of her carelessness.
Itai who did not dispute the allegations said:
“I did lose my job but that should not stop him from taking care of his children.”
Magistrate Trevor Nyatsanza, who presided over the matter, ordered Tendai to pay US$160 per month.
